I like the idea of including libmagic as another format recognition tool.
However, the column names such as filesfformatname
would then have to clearly indicate which tool they come from.
I would also advise against evaluating libmagic and Siegfried results and postulating a common "main format" in case of recognition conflicts (or in general). That is a decision that should be made by the users.
filesfformatname is always siegfried (the "sf" infix). magic should have its own column, yes.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. To use siegfried as the only sourfe for file identification is not a good idea as there might be wrong identifications.
Describe the solution you'd like libmagic can be easly added and its identification can be cross checked with sf's results.
